Teach real coding
with cardboard, not screens.
Scottie Go! is a hands-on board game: kids snap together physical programming blocks, scan them with a phone, and watch a friendly alien carry out their code. No prior coding knowledge needed — for parents or kids.
How it actually works
The same four moves, every quest — kids pick it up in one round.
Build the program
Snap cardboard blocks together — step, turn, pick up, loop — like puzzle pieces.
→Lay it on the board
Blocks sit on the printed game board in the order they should run.
→Point the app at it
The free companion app reads the blocks through the camera — no typing.
→Scottie runs it
Watch the code execute on-screen. Fewer, smarter blocks earn more stars.
Three ways in, one alien
All three teach the same real programming concepts — loops, conditionals, variables, functions — just at different sizes and price points.
Scottie Go! Edu
AGES 6–15 · 1–3 PLAYERSThe full course: 91 quests of rising difficulty teaching commands, parameters, loops, conditionals, variables and functions — built for one kid, a family, or a small group working together.
- 179 programming blocks + organiser + background board
- Licence code for 3 devices, manual included
- Builds logical thinking, planning, and teamwork — not just app-tapping
- Works fully offline once installed
Scottie Go! Labyrinth
AGES 6+ · GREAT FIRST BOXScottie's stuck in a maze — kids code him step-by-step to the exit. The lighter, home-friendly edition, with a Labyrinth Mobile app add-on (58 blocks) for more play once the board's put away.
- Fast to learn — a good "is this for my kid?" starting point
- Augmented-reality mode on the box art
- Same core skills as Edu, smaller box, smaller price
Scottie Go! Starter
AGES 6+ · SMALLEST BOX, LOWEST PRICESame core mechanic as Edu and Labyrinth — build code with physical blocks, scan it, watch Scottie go — in a smaller "mini" box with fewer pieces. The cheapest way to find out if this game is for your kid.
- 31 cardboard pieces, same real coding concepts as the bigger boxes
- Compact size — easy gift, easy first purchase
- Free companion app, available in English and several other languages
Why parents keep it around
Not screen time. Just the coding logic underneath it — with pieces you can hold.
No coding background needed
Neither the kid nor the parent needs to know anything about programming to start — the game teaches both at once.
Real concepts, not tricks
Loops, conditionals, variables and functions — the same ideas taught in a first programming class, just physical.
Built to be replayed
Fewer, smarter blocks earn more stars, so kids naturally go back and try to solve a quest better, not just once.
Board games build more than code
Sitting down together, taking turns, working through a tricky puzzle as a team — that's time and focus screens rarely ask for. Scottie Go just gives it a coding-shaped reason to happen.
